Different tyres, different suspension, different BIKE, a track he's never been to (and which Crutchlow has just spent a whole weekend on) - Toseland's result is not indicative of how he will adapt to the R1. I'm no great fan of JT but I do believe he is a potential top five runner.

Don't lose sight of the fact that he used to be capable of beating Haga - and Bayliss - in head to head battles. He hasn't forgotten how to ride.
